    Occasionally you will read a book and know that from then on your life will be defined by before and after you read the book. For me, The Red Tent by Anita Diamant, The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig, Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann.

    As an American with Irish heritage, I spent most of my life thinking Americans clinging to some flimsy claim of “Irishness” were at best cringey and at worst offensive to “real” Irish people. I thought, we’re American. Period. That’s it. We have no claim on a faraway culture...

  • a bunch of bees in a trench coat fighting tuberculosis

    My Spanish teacher (maestra de espangol), Marcella, asked me what I was doing a fin de semana and I said that I was going to Washington, DC to talk to congress about funding for tuberculosis research. She blinked at me.

  • in the belly

    The Midwest has been bombarded by snow and ice. (ha. ha.)

    I love winter. I love turning in and tucking up. I love an excuse to stay inside. But when the birds tweeted loudly for the first time in living memory yesterday, I almost cried, lol. Enough is enough. What I wouldn’t give to see the grass!

    My wfh buddy and neighbor and florist, Sarah, said to me this week that every single year, without fail, on February first she feels overwhelmed with a need for it to be Spring again.
